1st blog in 2009!

This is the 1st blog in 2009!

It's been quite foggy this month. I was amazed at the scenery under heavy fog. My first impression is: Silent Hill (a horror genre video game which the story began on a foggy setting) The photo shown cannot represent the worst scenario. The visibility in the worst case was about 10m max. A foggy night scene is even more interesting. People and trees behind the backdrop of streetlights were blurred, adding a sense of mystery.

I was amazed on one foggy afternoon when I saw a spectacular scene. On a typical day, I can see the hilly Northern Vancouver from my place. That day I saw that houses at the lower part of Northern Vancouver were covered by a thick layer of greyish fog However, houses on the hilly part were exposed to the sun. It was a big difference. Later on that day, as I drove to Richmond, I saw the changes myself. It was sunny and bright with blue sky overhead from my place, then became foggy and pale as I continued to drive close to the seaside. What a big difference made within such short time and space!!

Connie made a thoughtful reflection from these foggy experience: Sometimes in life the road is not clear. One has to walk on the path with faith in order to see more to reveal. This is a good reminder to our stay in Vancouver in the following years.
